あらすじ

In 1909, Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Sharer follows a young captain taking command of his first ship. During the night, he discovers a fugitive who has hidden himself aboard, and he comes to realize the man is a first mate who has killed a crew member and fled before authorities could arrest him. Struck by the stranger’s resemblance—both in appearance and background—the captain chooses to conceal him on board, even though doing so threatens his standing as commander. As the search begins and his crew turns increasingly suspicious, he faces the need to carry out a risky maneuver to enable the fugitive’s escape while still asserting his authority.
